Thought i was buying a 2001 jeep because sgt shannon harris was getting deployed back to afganistan. sent $2500 to him through a fake eBay he set up with fake number. once he got most of the money he sent me a message through eBay accout i needed to send $1000 for shipping insuance, i called around and everyone said bull----, so i started googleing him and found out he is a scammer. i reported him to eBay, paypal and called the credit card company trying to stop the transaction, but you can't until they take the money then you have to fight to get it back.
OK, so I figured this was a scam, but wanted to make sure. I got a post on FaceBook from a friend of mine, who knew I was looking for a Jeep. I got the post, emailed the person who owns it, and a few days later I received an email back.
It was from a Sgt Shannon Harris, stationed (or so she says), at Military Logistic Department Fort Robinson, NE U.S. Army
Her second email was as follows:
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in purchased my 2001 Jeep Wrangler. I am selling this jeep because I am in the military and my unit will be sent back to Afghanistan. I don't want it get old in my garage. The price is low because I need to sell it before 25th October. The jeep is in pristine condition, no accident history, clear title, only 63,064 miles, no dents or dings and no scratches. Always adult driven and garaged, never abused or raced. If you are interested, it's still available for sale and the price, as stated in the ad, is $2,500. Let me know if you are interested, email back.
I got the same exact email with the update "sell it before 25th of December". It is so sad that they used the services people as cover. Thanks to everybody post...otherwise I would fall for it.
